Peelback: Ingredient Scanner
Scan Labels. No Barcode.
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
The FDA is phasing out 8 food dyes, but they're still on shelves. Scan your kitchen and see which ones are in your food. No barcode needed.
Point your camera at any ingredient list: food, menus, skincare, supplements, or handwritten labels. Peelback reads every ingredient, scores it 0-100, flags what's banned in other countries, and checks it against your allergens. No barcode required.
WHY PEELBACK IS DIFFERENT
Unlike barcode scanners, Peelback uses AI vision to read any ingredient list from any surface. A restaurant menu. A farmer's market sign. An imported product. A supplement bottle. If it has ingredients, Peelback can read it.
See which ingredients are banned or require warning labels in the EU, UK, Canada, Japan, and other countries, with the specific reason why.
EVIDENCE-BASED RATINGS
Tired of scanners saying "avoid this" without explaining why? Tap any ingredient to see its Evidence Report: the concern explained, evidence quality (Strong, Moderate, or Preliminary), and where it's approved, restricted, or banned worldwide. No fearmongering, just science.
PERSONALIZED FOR YOU
Set up your profile with allergens and dietary preferences. Peelback tells you what matters for YOU. If you're allergic to peanuts, it flags them instantly, even when buried in a long ingredient list.
FAMILY SAFETY CHECK
Create profiles for each family member with their unique allergens and dietary needs. Scan once and see safety for everyone at a glance. No need to switch profiles or scan multiple times.
HEALTH SCORES
Get a 0-100 score broken down into three pillars: Nutritional Quality, Additives Risk, and Processing Level. See exactly why a product scored the way it did, including when scores are capped due to harmful additives.
HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVES
Scan something unhealthy and compare it side-by-side with alternatives. See score differences, ingredient counts, and key changes highlighted. Real product suggestions, not "eat an apple instead."
CONTAMINANT WARNINGS
Peelback goes beyond the ingredient list. Where research exists, we flag concerns like glyphosate in non-organic grains, heavy metals in certain foods, and contaminants that don't appear on labels.
